Well, so far I have talked to 4 companies about this; Iron Bull, Buckstop, Boondock, and Fab Fours. Iron Bull gave me a "no," but I still got prices . Buckstop gave me a "no," because it would be hard to make the led bars face foward(?) and not shoot off into the side of the road. Fab Fours, well, Fab Fours doesn't even make bumpers for our F-150's (04-08) anymore (Trust me, I got the facts, I talked with huodini himself). Boondock bumpers told me it would be hard, but never said "no" (Once again, I got prices). There are three options I can do; Convince Boondock bumpers to "customize" a bumper for me with the led bars, buy a bumper with no cut outs for lights and "customize" it myself (with the help from a shop), or forget about my evil plan and buy a bumper with the round lights in it.

i dont get how this is hard?

get the measurements of the light bar mounting space. input this into CAD. get the two front plates laser cut with holes for led bars.

these are clearly all flat plates welded together. all theyre doing is modifying two of them

i would just get the regular bumper and get a 40" bar and mount it on the top.

That's not a choice . Hahaha, just kidding. If I had a dollar for everytime one of these companies told me the same thing. . . I would have 4 dollars?

Here's what I'm thinking. Project 2 with two more LED's in the holes (next to the license plate). I think it'll look clean in my opinion!

I bought my F-150 with a ranch hand brush guard on it, and I was oringally going to get a Ranch Hand bumper replacement. Then I saw these beast bumpers.
